Goodell defended mounting questions on the taunting rule, which has come under fire throughout the regular season due to a lack of concrete understanding -- or perhaps lack of a digestible explanation. For example, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was not flagged after cheap jersey wholesale he punted a football into the stands in London following a touchdown (explanation here). A few weeks later, Redskins tight end Vernon Davis got penalized for shooting the football over the goal post following cheap nfl jerseys wholesale a score (explanation here). "What you're really saying, is not that there's disparities in the way it's being officiated, that you don't like the rule. ... Listen, the committee looks at this every year," Goodell said. "This is one of those things, I've been in the league 35 years, I don't think there's any year we didn't look at this issue. It comes down to balancing a lot of issues. The professional standards we want to uphold. We do believe that our players are role models, and others look at that at the youth level, so that's important for us to hold that standard up. And it's part of being professional. So that's one element of it. We have taunting, which is a significant issue, and taunting fouls are up this year. It's probably a combination of making that a point of emphasis. But we look at that as sportsmanship, and that can lead to, in most cases when somebody taunts somebody else, somebody reacts, and that can escalate quickly. Those are things that we're really concerned about. We look at it closely. The committee balances those issues. I don't think they're being officiated inconsistently. You may not Cheap NFL jersey Sale like the rule, you may not like the line that's been drawn, but we believe it's part of being a professional league." » On Las Vegas, and a presentation made by Raiders owner Mark Davis (you can find a full piece on the Vegas situation by colleague Marc Sessler here): "We had presentations from all three of the California teams this morning and their efforts to get a stadium built. We also heard from the Atlanta Falcons on their efforts to get a stadium completed for next season, so that was a normal part of our meeting. And I think, as it specifically relates to the Raiders' presentation, it was informative. Factual. The membership had an opportunity to ask questions and the chairman of the committee, Art Rooney, made it very clear that this is something that will get a significant focus from the stadium committee....There's still a great deal of information we need to gather in terms of the circumstances we see in Las Vegas -- the opportunities and also the challenges." Goodell added that he would expect to speak about the subject again with Davis in December. » A few questions about quality of play cheap jerseys melted down into a central point from Goodell on Wednesday: He expects practice time to be re-evaluated in the next collective bargaining agreement. Under the current structure, there are strict limitations on how much time coaches can spend with their players during the offseason and regular season -- a constant point of contention among current NFL head coaches. Goodell said that the league received updates on their 2020 plan -- a guideline for the short-term future of the NFL -- and would not be surprised to see expanded discussion on a developmental league. All other major sports -- baseball, basketball and hockey -- have some minor league structure. "We've talked about it," Goodell said. "We spent a fair amount of time at our meeting on what we call the 2020 plan, which is talking about how we plan for the future and the things we want to accomplish. And one of them is obviously the game and how we improve it. A developmental league could be something we want to do to help us develop players. We pick up on rosters from the start of the season to the end of the season between three and four hundred players. Having those players ready to play as quickly as possible, developed, those are all positive things. I particularly have an interest in it."

Rex Ryan, Bills hitting panic button after 0-2 start Rex Ryan has done his best work as an NFL head coach when his team's prospects have been at their bleakest. It's just happening earlier than ever this time around. Friday's firing of offensive coordinator Greg Roman on the heels of Thursday night's 37-31 loss to the New York Jets creates an undeniable impression: The Bills are the first team to panic in the 2016 season. After just two games, Ryan has ditched 18 months of planning and cohesion in Roman's offense, including an offseason that Rex said they "won" this year. Rex is surely frustrated with the team's running game, but it's hard to fault Roman for quarterback Tyrod Taylor missing open receivers down the field. It's not Roman's fault that Ryan has made the defense worse or that the Bills have one of the thinnest cheap nfl jerseys wideout groups in football. It's not Roman's fault their top option, Sammy Watkins, is playing through a sore foot. It is no coincidence that these changes come after a loss to the Jets. Thursday night's game wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated, and the Bills' 0-2 start to the year feels particularly dark right now. Looking ahead The Bills are now 0-2 Denver Broncos Jersey with Arizona and a road game in New England next on the schedule. They will need to pull an upset in one of those games to avoid an 0-4 start. The spectre of Ryan's job security hangs over all of this. The Bills were forced to release a statement about the future of Ryan and general manager Alex Smith Jersey Doug Whaley at the end of last season amid speculation Ryan could be one and done. Ryan has coached through job whispers before, but it's unsettling if it becomes an issue so early in his Bills tenure. Firing Roman after only two weeks and promoting assistant head coach/running backs coach Anthony Lynn is Ryan's way of trusting "his guys." If this is going to be Rex's final season in Buffalo, he wants to do it his way. His brother Rob Ryan is helping on the defense. Lynn coached with Ryan in New York, like so much of the Bills' staff. As Conor Orr points out in his excellent article on Roman's firing, this move could be a prelude to more of a run-first approach under Lynn. That doesn't mean it will work. The Bills were the ninth best offense in football last year according to Football Outsiders and helped earn Taylor a big new contract, while Rex's defense has only grown worse since he arrived.
